The promised Easter victory
The Church confesses that Mary, at the end of her earthly life, was brought in body and soul to the glory of heaven. The Assumption is a unique participation in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and anticipates the promised destiny of the redeemed.
This mystery affirms the dignity of the whole person. The body is not a despicable wrapper: it is called to the resurrection and to a life fully transformed by God.
A documented patronage since 1965
The archdiocese of Daegu and the Episcopal Conference of Korea record Skills, the Assumption of Mary, as patronage of Daean. The parish was founded on 1 July 1965.
The community is located in Daean-dong, within Jung-gu. The Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres collaborate in their pastoral life.
August 15 for the Korean people
Solemnity coincides with Gwangbokjeolon the day of the liberation of Korea. The date unites the Christian hope of full life with the national memory of freedom recovered in 1945.
During his visit to Korea in 2014, Pope Francis noted that Koreans celebrate the Assumption in the light of their historical experience and recognize the loving intercession of Mary in the life of the people.
Freedom to love and serve
Christian freedom is not only about getting rid of oppression. It is also the ability, received by grace, to welcome the will of God, to love one's neighbor and to transform society from the Gospel.
Mary glorified shows that humble obedience does not end in defeat. His given life fully participates in Christ's victory over sin and death.
A parish of several languages
The pastoral information available includes, in addition to the Korean masses, Sunday celebrations in English and Vietnamese. Timelines can be changed and must be confirmed, but programming documents a community open to migrant faithful.
Under the Assumption, this diversity acquires a special meaning: people from different peoples share the same body and spiritual hope, without losing their language or memory.
Mary and the dignity of the migrant
Mary knew the displacement by fleeing with Joseph and the Child to Egypt. Its history helps to contemplate with respect those who live away from their land for work, safety or family need.
A parish that celebrates in several languages can become a home of welcome, orientation and friendship, preventing cultural difference from becoming isolation.

To visit and pray
The fourth glorious mystery can be prayed for those who have died and for those who live in fear of disease or death. The fifth mystery calls for the unity of the peoples under Mary's maternal look.
In Daean it is also appropriate to pray for migrants, for those who learn a new language and for parishes who wish to be truly universal.
Prayer to Our Lady of the Assumption of Daean
Mary, raised in body and soul to glory, keeps the parish of Daean. It brings together in one family those who pray in different languages, accompanies migrants and strengthens our hope for the resurrection. It is committed to the freedom, peace and reconciliation of Korea. Amen.
